WARNING: For safety reasons, GNC 255 operational procedures must be
learned on the ground.
CAUTION: The Garmin GNC 255 does not contain any user-serviceable
parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center.
Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and
the pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.
CAUTION: The GNC 255 display uses a lens coated with a special anti-
reflective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive
cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-
REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a clean,
lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for
anti-reflective coatings.
NOTE: Garmin recommends that if flying in a region with 8.33 kHz COM
channel spacing, the radio should remain in 8.33 kHz mode. This will prevent
the loss of stored user and recent frequencies.
NOTE: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the
system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information
remains current. Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their
own risk.
NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including
screen images of the GNC 255 bezel and displays, are subject to change
and may not reflect the most current GNC 255 software. Depictions of
equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or
reproductive harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with
California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like
additional information, please refer to our web site at www.garmin.com/

1 GETTING STARTED
1.1 Product Description
Combining a powerful VHF communications transceiver with 200 channel
VOR, Localizer and Glideslope receivers, the GNC 255 provides a full-functioned
navigation and communications solution in a small footprint at a very affordable
price. Besides traditional Nav/Com features, the GNC 255 also incorporates
workload-reducing functions such as automatic decoding of the Morse code
station identifier for VOR/LOC, most-used frequency storage in memory, built-
in course deviation indicator, and more.
The GNC 255 has the ability to monitor the standby Com frequencies. The
GNC 255’s Com radio operates in the aviation voice band, from 118.000 to
136.975 MHz, in 25 kHz steps (default). For European operations, a Com
radio configuration of 8.33 kHz steps is also available. The GNC 255 VHF Nav
receiver operates from 108 MHz to 117.95 MHz decoding both the VHF Omni
Range and Localizer navigation signals. The built-in Glideslope receiver will
automatically tune the corresponding glideslope paired frequencies (328 MHz
to 335 MHz) when the localizer is tuned. The GNC 255 is available in 10 and 16
watt com transmitter versions. The GNC 255A is available with a 10 watt com
transmitter. The GNC 255B is available with a 16 watt com transmitter.

1.2 Pilot Controls
The GNC 255 controls have been designed to simplify operation of the
system and minimize workload and the time required to access sophisticated
functionality. Controls are comprised of dual concentric knobs for frequency
tuning, Com volume/squelch knob, Nav volume/ID knob, and bezel keys.
1.2.1 Power/Com Volume/Squelch Knob
The Power/Com Volume/Squelch knob located in the top left
corner of the bezel controls audio volume for the Com radio.
Rotating the knob clockwise past the detent turns power on
and counter-clockwise turns power off. When the Com radio is
active, press the Power/Com Volume/Squelch knob to toggle
automatic squelch control On/Off for the Com radio.

Figure 1-2 Com Volume and Squelch Display Description
The Com radio features an automatic squelch to reject many localized noise
sources. You may override the squelch function by pressing the
Power/Com
Volume/Squelch
knob. This facilitates listening to a distant station or setting
the desired volume level.
To override the automatic squelch, press the
Power/Com Volume/Squelch
knob momentarily. Press the
Power/Com Volume/Squelch
knob again to
return to automatic squelch operation. A “SQ” indication appears to the left of
the active Com frequency window in the upper left corner of the display when
automatic squelch is overridden.
1.2.2 Nav Volume/ID Knob
The Nav Volume/ID knob located in the bottom left corner
of the bezel controls audio volume for the Nav radio. Press the
Nav Volume/ID knob and the Morse code tones will be heard.
When Morse code tone is active, “ID” will appear to the left of
the Nav active frequency.

mode.
1.2.6 OBS Key
Press the OBS key to see the current OBS setting and graphic
CDI. The OBS page will be disabled if the unit is installed with
an external converter.
1.2.7 T/F (To/From) Key
Press the T/F key to toggle between the bearing TO or radial
FROM the active VOR. The T/F page also shows Distance/Speed/
Time information. The T/F key does not operate for Localizer
frequencies.

the Function mode. Pressing the FUNC key a second time exits
the Function mode.
1.2.11 MON (Monitor) Key
The MON (Monitor) key will engage the monitor function where
the Standby frequency may be monitored while still listening to
the Active frequency.
1.3 USB Port
The USB port is used to update the frequency database in the GNC 255.
NOTE: Garmin recommends the use of a USB 2.0 compatible USB flash
drive for updating the database.

2 BASIC OPERATION
2.1 Power On
Turn the GNC 255 on by either turning the Power/Com Volume/
Squelch knob clockwise to turn the power on or, if installed,
turning on the master switch that powers the radios.
2.2 Com Radio
2.2.1 Selecting a Com Frequency
New frequencies are first selected as a Standby frequency and then toggled to
the Active side with the
FLIP/FLOP
key. While viewing the Standby frequency
display, use the LARGE and SMALL knobs on the right side of the GNC 255 to
select the desired frequency.
1. Press C/N, if necessary, to reach the Com radio function. The
COM annunciator on the top line of the display will show.
2. Turn the LARGE knob to change the values in one MHz
increments. The MHz selection range is between 118 and 136
in one MHz steps.
3. Turn the SMALL knob to change the values in 25 kHz or 8.33
kHz increments. The kHz selection range is between 000 and
975 kHz in 25 kHz steps or 000 and 990 kHz in 8.33 kHz steps.
4. Turn the LARGE and SMALL knobs clockwise to increase and
counterclockwise to decrease the frequency values. Standby
frequency selection is not inhibited during transmit.
5. When connected to a position source, nearby station identifiers
will be shown for the selected frequency. Frequencies with
multiple types will have an asterisk next to the identifier.

Frequency Monitor function is turned off by pressing the MON key again.
Monitoring is not canceled by switching to Nav mode.
2.2.3 Saving a Com Channel
The current Standby frequency may be saved into the Com User Frequency
database from the Com display or the Com User Function. The Com User
Frequency database can hold up to 15 frequencies.
